Swingman Olivier Troisfontaines (192-G/F-89, agency: LBM Management) had an amazing evening in the last round for Aalstar, receiving a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 11.The 27-year old player was the main contributor (18 points, four rebounds and nine assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Kangoeroes (#6, 5-5) 97-92. Aalstar is placed at 3rd position in Belgian Euromillions League. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Aalstar will need more victories to improve their 7-4 record. In the team's last game Troisfontaines had a remarkable 71.4% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Aalstar and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Olivier Troisfontaines averages this season 11.6ppg. Worth to mention Troisfontaines played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

The second best player in last round's games was 24-year old American Seth Tuttle (203-F-92) of Limburg United. Tuttle had a very good evening with a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds. Of course he led Limburg United to another comfortable win outscoring slightly higher-ranked Liege (3-8) 86-66. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Limburg United is still at the dead bottom 10th position. 8 lost games are too many comparing to just three victories Limburg United managed to get this year. Tuttle is a newcomer at Limburg United, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 14.7ppg (#8). His other stats are also decent: 7.2rpg and 4.1apg.

Third on the list of top players last round was American Gavin Ware (206-C/F-93) of league's second-best Antwerp. Ware scored 22 points and grabbed five rebounds. He was a key player of Antwerp, leading his team to a 76-72 win against the lower-ranked Mons-Hainaut (#7, 5-6). Antwerp needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 8 victories and 3 lost games. Ware has a great season in Belgium. After 11 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.1ppg (6th best) and rebounds with 7.3rpg (2nd best).

The Player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
